With You

WITH YOU, 
I had a fighting chance.
   WITHOUT YOU,
 I have to pay in advance.

   WITH YOU, 
I found a reason to believe.
   WITHOUT YOU,
I'm absent without leave.

   WITH YOU, 
I lived in the sun.
   WITHOUT YOU,
nothing is fun.

   WITH YOU, 
I could see a light.
   WITHOUT YOU,
 I have stage fright.

   WITH YOU,
 I felt the riches.
   WITHOUT YOU,
 I have to wear big girl britches.

   WITH YOU,
 The water was warm.
   WITHOUT YOU,
 I'm preparing for the storm.

   WITH YOU,
 I could believe in tomorrow.
   WITHOUT YOU,
 I only know pain and sorrow.

   WITH YOU,
 everything was easy.
   WITHOUT YOU, 
Nothing can please me.

   WITH YOU,
 I believed in fate.
   WITHOUT YOU,
 I can only hate.

   WITH YOU, 
I could believe in God.
   WITHOUT YOU, 
I'm facing the firing squad.

   WITH YOU,
 I felt alive.
   WITHOUT YOU,
 its crash and dive.

   WITH YOU,
 I could see.
   WITHOUT YOU, 
I don't believe in me.
